The double cone is intersected by a vertical plane passing through the point where the tips of the cones meet. What is the shape of the cross section formed?

I have attached a picture of the double cone.

I have also attached the options missing.

Option B is correct

Step-by-step explanation:

From the image of the double given, when we cut a section vertically through the centre where the tips of the cones meet, when we look at the cut section, we will not see curves but straight lines meaning that the top and bottom will be horizontal lines and not curves.

Also, the meeting point of the two cone tips will remain the same.

Looking at the options, the only one that fulfills the condition is option B.

so firstly, we need to isolate the y variables to be able to solve these inequalities. firstly, add 0.5x on both sides of the first inequality and subtract 1.5x on both sides of the second inequality:

now since the slope is positive for the first inequality, this means that the line going upwards belongs to the first inequality, and the line going downwards belongs to the second inequality.

next, since y ≥ in the first inequality, this means that the shaded region will be above the first inequality's line, thus shading regions a and b.

next, since y ≤ in the second inequality, this means that the shaded region is going to be below this line, thus shading regions a and c.

since both lines shade region a, this means that region a is the solution.
